I have been watching that star-studded circle-jerk that is the annual Davos get-together of the rich, influential, and deluded. I very much enjoyed the coup perpetrated by DJT & Co.
All I can say is that the USofA schooled the rest of the world on what to expect to come down the ski slope. I have been reading this morn (it is 738am) what transpired while I was sleeping. I enjoy the right and left view points. I find it interesting to figure out what folks have seen, heard, experienced, emoted.
It takes all of our senses to distill what we understand, then construct an interpretable story-line. Folks see and hear things so differently.
In my vernacular I discuss filters we each have, use to navigate the world. The old term was “seeing through rose-colored glasses”. And, of course, the opposite of rose-colored glasses exists.
I have discussed the world-wide angst I see and hear, the mental illness I witness and am subjected to, the fact the TDS is real, debilitating and oft times terminal. And alive and well on stage in Davos.
Davos exemplifies, usually, the waste and foolishness of the rich and famous. I have written on this topic in the past: https://nativeiowan.com/2024/01/19/2024-v1-dizzy-in-davos/
In my past writing I stated: “Davos is a crime scene, sanctioned and supported by anyone that wants to be a who’s-who.”
This year is different I think. I think the US0fA changed the tone, stole the show, Made fools of so, so, so many “impotent people”.
Like the old man who was having difficulties performing in bed… he went to the doctor, had numerous tests, was told he is impotent and sent home.
On his way home he stopped at the haberdashery, bought a coat with tails, a bow tie, a top hat and a walking stick. When he got home his wife said “Fool, why you dresses up so funny?”. “Honey, the Dr said I was impotent, I’m gonna dress impotent.”
